No Matter What Cover

So this is my version of the Badfinger classic. Yes, some of the chords are different, and the tempo is up there...that's how I like it. All the videos were recorded in real time as the tracks were being laid down.

[@davidash-qp3ko]

Russ , All these tunes are my favourite songs - top work really enjoying your versions - keep up the rocking

[@SCLARK2112]

Russ, you're quickly becoming my favorite band, great job!

[@russwilloughby501]

Thanks so much.....someday I guess I'm gonna have to start paying these guys.

[@lindabergman3127]

Mine also👍😁would love to hear you play n sing Fresh air by Spirit 🥰

[@zvipatent]

LOL - you read my mind ! Russ is a great band - and quickly becoming my favorite band also

[@randylw67]

@@russwilloughby501 Yeah, I agree, this is the best cover of this song I have ever heard. Every instrument and vocal part is on point! I dare say that I like this maybe better than the original

Thank you so much 😀

[@edmundverwey617]

Very well done young man. I love the covers you do straight out of my era. You have a shitload of talent. Thank you for uploading your hard work. And here I thought using 3 guitars for a cover song is a big deal!! Boy was I mistaken. I know, THIS is a LOOOT of hard work. Keep up the good work.

[@russwilloughby501]

Thanks very much...I appreciate it!

[@flyordie-j5v]

Another hit rendition from the Clones ! What a band !

[@xuankhanh8774]

Thank you for doing these songs since they are also my favorites. You Rock! Best cover artist on YT. I am surprised not many subscribed to this channel. There should be more subs in my opinion.

[@gregdenis5191]

You do a lot of songs that are in our set list ... and you do them much better than we do ! But , let’s see you do it live ... 😁. Well done ... another hard one to cover vocally.

[@russwilloughby501]

Thanks so much Greg! Doing this live....now THAT would be an accomplishment!

[@shadowandbosco]

I enjoyed the video very much

[@davidc2733]

Got my band doing this song now and have sent them this video so they can all do their homework from the same point 👍

[@russwilloughby501]

Thanks so much for watching. Tell your bandmates to stop on the "A" at the end of the intro....I went to an "E" because I like the sound of it better. The original stops on the "A".

[@dougle3584]

you made a mission impossible perfectly......

[@russwilloughby501]

Thanks much!

[@britknowles6530]

Hey Russ, I'm still enjoying your music. I have an oldie for you to consider. It's Proper Stranger" by The Guess Who. It sounds like a lot of twist and turns with the guitars. Thanks again for keeping the best music alive

[@russwilloughby501]

Glad to hear you're sticking around...thanks! I'll check out PS..you never know!

[@Diego_Expendable]

Hi, Great cover and great song. I know this song for def leppard.

[@russwilloughby501]

Thanks much! Yep, I love DL's version.

[@wlflightlr]

Deserves more likes, you sound amazing.

[@russwilloughby501]

Thanks very much!

[@kenrichard5]

Love your lead riff... yes, probably 5 bpm quicker? I am covering that now on the piano. Big new fan of yours here..!

[@russwilloughby501]

Thanks, Ken! Not exactly sure on the BPMs, but you're probably right. As much as I love the original, I've always felt it was a tad slow. Of course lots of sugar helps to speed things up a bit. Nice to have you as a fan! Regards!

[@tamara-cm5wx]

My favorite so far. Great job!

It's logical the reason behind why me and billions of people do not have musical talent: guys like Russ had stolen all of it.

[@russwilloughby501]

Ha, lol! Thanks so much!

Can you do day after day?

[@SurferJoe46]

You know .... I wanted to not listen to you because I didn't want to be disappointed. I was sadly wrong, and I apologize. Oh ..... perhaps a missing nuance here, a tambourine smash not forward enough .... a little transparency there .... but overall a greatly entertaining experience for me because sadly as my own voice is 25-cents flat, I can never achieve anything near to your accomplishments. Keep recording these pearls ... make me smile ... as I vicariously enjoy you as I would like to be.

[@russwilloughby501]

Thanks Joe....I really appreciate that!

[@pbailey232]

Obviously one song you should be covering is One Man Band by Three Dog Night

As good as the original with Pete on lead vocal.

[@russwilloughby501]

[@bobmalack481]

Nice rendition, but tempo oversped up. You guys are too old to know better. Robert at 69. LISTEN to the original recording. Grade?..a C minus.

[@bobmalack481]

Played at too sped up a tempo, compared to the original, ruins the rest of the composition, a shame..Robert at 69.

[@MrWigby]

Too fast but sounds great

[@russwilloughby501]

Blame it on the sugar...thanks for listening!

[@daniellaforme9868]

I agree. Too fast. Lost the groove. Nice job though.
